fas42 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Had this on the audio friend's rig up the road yesterday - not this version, but a 2007 Proms performance ... pretty fabulous stuff - you want space in the presentation - you get space ... 😉, Link to comment

ted_b Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Rajiv, where do you put Jared’s recordings/Ivan Fischer’s performance of the Mahler cycle? I’m ignorant of Mahler basically so no dog in this fight (except my friendship and work relationship with Jared) Btw they never did the 8th given the resources involved.

Hi Ted, Fischer's solid overall. The earlier Channel Classics releases are well recorded. The standout to me is the last one they released, Mahler's 3rd. That is an outstanding performance AND recording. I can totally understand why the 8th is a challenge! My Audio Setup Link to comment

Just PM me if you have trouble locating. Thanks for the offer. My apartment complex's free Wi-Fi internet service doesn't allow streaming of any kind, audio or video. Thus, I would have to purchase another Mahler 8th, which I'm unwilling to do based on past experiences. My last Mahler 8th was by Maurice Abravanel conducting the Utah Symphony Orchestra with Alexander Schreiner (Organ), Jeannine Crader (Soprano), Lynn Owen (Soprano), Blanche Christensen (Soprano), Nancy Williams (Alto), Marlena Kleinman (Alto), Stanley Kolk (Tenor), Malcolm Smith (Bass), David Clatworthy (Baritone), University of Utah Choruses and Children's Choir on a two sided Classic Records HDAD, one side 24/192 for DVD-Audio and the other side 24/96 for DVD-Video. My Yamaha universal player doesn't do DVD-Audio so I listened to the 24/96 side. The only reason I purchased this Mahler 8th is because it was part of a set of 10 Classic Records DADs and HDADs that Acoustic Sounds offered back in 2014 for only $25.00. That's $2.50 per disc, I kept half of them and traded the others (including this Mahler's 8th) in a Recycled Records. I have owned other Mahler's 8th's prior to this one, mostly on prerecorded Reel-to-Reel or LP. It is quite possible that I may have owned the Solti version in the past, I pretty much disliked all the versions the same. So when I got this Abravanel version I didn't have high hopes and it solidified my dislike of this symphony. It’s the music not the performances I dislike, for me, Mahler’s 8th has way too much of the type of singing I dislike. The singing in Mahler's Symphonies Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are only in certain parts and those symphonies remain mostly orchestral. Singing doesn’t dominate those symphonies the way it does in No. 8. Thanks for the offer though. AnotherSpin and sphinxsix 2 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums. I do a search in that file to find out what I said or did in the past.
